7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Government of Uganda improves on the welfare of the citizens through budgetary allocations and releases to various sectors among which include the education sector, health sector and pension scheme. It is prudent that the handling of public funds is done in a transparent manner that requires duty bearers to give accountability to the citizens, in line with the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) To this effect, the Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group (CSBAG) alongside other partner Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) monitored the quality of Education sector Results from the monitoring exercise for the education sector showed that out of 973 primary schools monitored in the FY 2016/17, 413,510 pupils were recorded as the total number of pupils enrolled in schools. Of these, 209,127 (50.57%) were female while 204,383 (49.43%) were male pupils. Of all the schools monitored, there was high budget transparency at 90.78% for the annual display of budget information, and access to water and sanitation facilities varied among the schools as 6.85% of the schools had mixed toilets for both boys and girls for the entire FY 2016/17. Some schools did not have a functional water source nearby or within the school, as some are over 4km from the nearest water point. The teacher to pupil ratio was unevenly distributed across the quarters in the FY as service delivery in 60 districts in the FY 2016/17 in three sectors (health, education and pension). Of the districts and service institutions monitored, there is an increasing trend in budget nad overall performance, showing an increasing sense of transparency and accountability from the duty bearers. However, results from the monitoring exercise also revealed numerous challenges as indicated in the respective sectors below with overall recommendations. this was 1:240, 1:47, 1:57 for Q2, Q3 and Q4 respectively. In Q2, 84.8% of the schools received funds by 25th September 2016 which was late since it is expected that money should be released by the Ministry of Fnance by 10th of the first month in each quarter. 7.6% of the schools received funds on the opening day in Q2, and it took an average of seven days for schools to withdraw money from their accounts. In Q3, only 25% of the schools monitored received 1st term funds by 21st February 2017 (over two weeks after term 1 had started). 53.8% of the schools monitored received UPE funds in March 2017 while 10.6% of the schools received UPE funds after March (more than 2 months after the school term had started). 75% of the schools had received their funds for Q4 by the time of monitoring. 7

8 Health sector 152 health centres were monitored in total for the FY 2016/17, recording 10,050 inpatients in Q2, Q3 and Q4, while 252,053 outpatients were recorded for the same period. 6,657 live births were registered in all the monitored health centres while still births were at ,092 children were immunized with the petavalent vaccine during FY 2016/17 in the areas monitored. Display of budget information at the health centers in the FY 2016/17 stood at 72%, which was below the record in the education sector by 18.78%. The Physician to Patient ratio in the FY 2016/17 was high at 1,578:1, 271:1, 319:1 and 391:1 for Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 respectively. The receipt of drugs among the monitored HCs performed above 80% as 80.4%, 100% and 90% of the health facilities had received drug consignments from the National Medical Stores for Q1, Q2 and Q4 respectively. On the receipt of funds, 66% of the HCs received Q2 funds on 28th October 2018 which was beyond 10th October. Overall, it was observed that the HCs received PHC funds late which jeopardized the quality of service delivery. Furthermore, access to water and sanitation facilities remained a challenge for most HCs as these had inadequate toilet facilities with a Toilet Stance to Patient ratio of 1:605 in some facilities. It was also noted that access to functional water points remain a mirage for most HCs. Other supporting facilities like delivery beds were found to be nonexistent in most health centers. Pension Scheme MoFPED released pension arrears amounting to UGX 50 billion at the beginning of Q1 in FY 2016/17. However, in Kasese district, out of the 24 pensioners on the list provided by Ministry of Finance, only 8 had not received their pension arrears. "Of all the schools monitored, there was high budget transparency at 90.78% for the annual display of budget information..." 8

9 Policy Recommendations: With the challenges faced at the monitored service delivery units, CSBAG makes the recommendations below for the relevant government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to addresses the gaps for effective and efficient service delivery: We recommend that government takes the initiative to train, recruit and incentivize teachers and health workers to fill up the staffing gaps in both the education and health sectors respectively. This will reduce the Teacher to Pupil ratio and the Physician to Patient ratio in schools and health facilities hence, improvement in the quality of services provided. Government should fulfil the necessary preconditions to ensure that funds are released on time, by 10th of the first month in each quarter, to address the challenge of late release of funds, for better service delivery. Coordinated efforts between the Central Government and Local Governments should be emphasized to manage the challenge of water and sanitation. Emphasis should be put on the provision of functional water points at the education and health sector setvice delivery units, with enough toilet stances to reduce on the Pupil/Patient to Toilet Stance ratio in schools and health facilities respectively. Government should provide supporting facilities like delivery beds in health facilities, desks and text books in schools, to facilitate smooth service provision. The respective district offices should ensure that who ever is eligible for pension is cleared in time to ensure that the people have a decent living in their old age, to avoid the accumulation of arrears which are difficult to clear in future. ''Government should fulfil the necessary preconditions to ensure that funds are released on time, by 10th of the first month in each quarter, to address the challenge of late release of funds, for better service delivery'' 9

10 1. INTRODUCTION Government of Uganda has over the years aimed at improving service delivery for its citizens through allocating money to sectors like Health, Education and Pension system that directly impact the livelihoods of the citizens. These are meant to ensure a health population through a vibrant health system, a better equipped human resource through improved quality of education and a decent ageing for the elderly through the pension scheme for those who are eligible for the pension fund. To enhance the rate at which these outcomes are realized, many ingredients including sufficient funding, meticulous execution of funded projects and programmes and monitoring and supervision need to be mixed in the right proportions. In the FY 2014/15, Government of Uganda instituted reforms in the management public resources which included the direct transfer of funds to Universal Primary Education (UPE) schools, and this was later extended to Health Centres (HCs) for purposes of the Primary Health Care (PHC) funds. Government also decentralized the payment of pension and salary. The FY 2016/17 was not only the second year of implementation under the Second National Development Plan (NDP II) planning framework, but also the first year for the implementation of the Programme Based Budgeting (PBB) by the Government of Uganda (GoU). GoU rolled out PBB 1.1 Objectives The main objective of the FY 2016/17 budget monitoring exercise was to track progress in the implementation of the various Public Finance Management (PFM) reforms in the management of the UPE schools funds and the Primary Health Care (PHC) grant. The monitoring exercise was also used as an opportunity to verify the pension arrears released by the MoFPED at the beginning of FY 2016/17. Additionally, the budget monitoring assessed the effectiveness of government expenditure on UPE schools and HCs in selected districts to address the needs and aspirations of all Ugandans, especially the poor and disadvantaged. Specifically, the monitoring sought to: to central government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in this FY. Sub counties also started receiving direct fund transfers from the Central Government, a reform that was meant to increase efficiency in resources allocated to the Local Governments (LGs). The PBB and direct transfer of sub county funds are follow up reforms to the direct transfer of funds to schools and HCs which were implemented in the FYs 2013/14 and 2015/16 respectively. These reforms are in part, among the efforts by government to improve service delivery and reduce corruption, generally reforming Public Finance Management (PFM) in the public sector. To enhance these efforts by government, CSBAG undertook quarterly monitoring exercises of the education and health sectors and pension scheme for the FY 2016/17. This monitoring was done in schools and Health Centres using the Participatory Budget Club (PBC) model. Specifically, the monitoring exercises were undertaken to answer questions around delayed receipt of funds by heads of schools and Health Centres, level of enrollment of staff at the respective service delivery units, and level of inspection of these services, and their impact on service delivery. Assess the functionality of Water Sanitation and Health (WASH) points at schools and Health Centres (HCs) Assess the timeliness in receipt of funds by selected primary schools and Health Centres visited Assess the adequacy of staffing at the schools and Health Centres visited Assess the functionality of the supervision function in the schools and Health Centres visited Assess the receipt of pension funds for selected individuals within the district. A group of 20 community members (60% of whom are women) is trained and equipped with quarterly district work plans and budgets and they, first alone and later with duty bearers, monitor the implementation of the work plan. Feedback is given first to responsible officers (DEO and DHO) and then to the district leadership. 10

11 2. METHODOLOGY This section highlights the procedures and methods used to undertake the monitoring exercise, clearly detailing the scope, data collection methods used, 2.1 Scope The monitoring exercise was done on a quarterly basis for one FY of 2016/17, covering a total of 60 districts, 229 Sub Counties, 46 Town Councils, and 17 Municipal Councils see annexes 1-9. Institutionally, 973 Government aided primary schools and 152 Government aided Health facilities of various categories were visited. Selection of 2.2 Method of data collection Questionnaires were used in the data collection process. These employed both open ended questions and multiple-choice selections (see appendices data analysis and quality assurance undertaken. Details of these are provided below. the districts was based on the presence of CSBAG members in a given district. The sub-counties and spending agencies monitored were either among those monitored periodically or were close to the centres that members monitored regularly. 10, 11 and 12) for the questionnaires used for the education sector, health sector and pension scheme respectively. 2.3 Data Analysis and Quality Assurance Questionnaires were used in the data collection process. These employed both open ended questions and multiple-choice selections (see appendices 10, 11 and 12) for the questionnaires used for the education sector, health sector and pension scheme respectively. 11

12 3.0 MONITORING RESULTS The results from the monitoring exercises that were conducted for the four quarters in the FY 2016/17 are presented in this section according to the sectors monitored; education, health and pension. It should be noted that the monitoring exercises were carried out as follows: Quarter 1 (Q1), the exercise covered the months of July, August and September in the year 2016; Quarter 2 (Q2), the exercise was conducted for the months of October, November and December in 2016; Quarter 3 (Q3), the exercise was carried out for the months of January, February and March in 2017; and Quarter 4 (Q4), the exercise covered the months of April, May and June in EDUCATION SECTOR were analysed under several categories including the geographical coverage, monitoring and supervision of the schools by the district education officials; water and sanitation. In this regard, focus was on the availability of a functional water point within or near the school; release and utilisation of budget information through the display of budget information; and enrollment in school with focus on total school enrollment, number of male and female students in school, and the teacher to pupil ratio Geographical coverage In the education sector, the exercise covered 60 districts in total, monitoring 973 schools in 229 sub counties, 46 town councils and 17 municipal councils see breakdown in Table 3.1. This section presents results for the education sector that were obtained after the monitoring exercise of the four quarters for FY 2016/17. These Table 3. 1: Geographical coverage of schools monitored in the FY 2016/17 Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4 Total No. of districts No of sub counties No of town councils No of municipal councils No. of schools Source: CSBAG Quarter 1 had the least number of schools monitored (206) while Quarter 4 registered the highest number of monitored schools (280). These results were further disaggregated to assess the quality of service delivery in the education sector indicated in table 3.2. The assessment was based on inspection of the schools, water and sanitation, provision of budget information and enrollment in the school. Table 3. 2: Quality of education in the schools monitored for FY 2016/17 Quarter Monitoring & supervision Water and sanitation Budget information Enrollment (release, utilization) FWP TS: PR Toilets DBI NDBI TE Male Female T: PR Q 1-80%** - 5.8% 92.7% 7.3% 40,781 20,046 20,735 Q 2 49% 27.4% 62:1 14% 92.8% 7.2% 70,684 34,910 35,774 1:240 Q % 53:1 14% 88% 12% 145,675 72,426 73,249 1:47 Q % 54:1 3.6% 89.6% 10.4% 156,370 77,001 79,369 1:50 Total 413, , ,127 ** - Schools without functional water points 12

13 Key FWP - Functional Water Point DBI - Display of budget information TS: PR - Toilet Stance to Pupil Ratio NDBI - Non-Display of Budget Information T: PR - Teacher Pupil Ratio TE - Total Enrollment Monitoring and supervision: From Table 3.2, only 49% of the schools visited had been inspected by the time of the monitoring exercise in Q2. No data on monitoring and supervision was available for Quarters 1, 3 and 4 as the monitoring excersise did not take place. However, much as no statistics were available, majority of the schools (51%) reported not to have been supervised at the time of the monitoring exercise. Water and sanitation: : 80% of the schools monitored in Q1 had no functional water points, while only 27.4% of the schools had functional water points in Q2. This implies that 72.6% of the schools remain excluded from easily accessible water points, a major challenge to the education sector as water and sanitation are pivotal for both hygiene and consumption for the teachers and the pupils, and specifically for the girl child. On a lighter side, results for Q3 and Q4 found that schools with functional water points were 76.5% and 75.7% respectively. However water being a necessity, it is prudent to have coverage at 100% to minimize school dropout rates. The percentage of schools that had toilets for both boys and girls ranged between 3.6% and 14%. 5.8% and 3.6% were recorded for Q1 and Q4 respectively, while Q2 and Q3 both found that 14% of the schools had mixed toilets for both boys and girls. The Toilet Stance to Pupil Ratio (TS: PR) stood at 62:1, 53:1 and 54:1 for Q2, Q3 and Q4 respectively. Budget information: It was impressive to find that 88% and 92.8% of schools displayed their budget information, showing an increase in the practice of transparency and accountability by the duty bearers which is pivotal in ensuring quality service delivery and realizing value for money. Receipt of Funds from Central Government: The monitoring exercise further revealed that schools received funds late which affects planning and implementation process. This violates the Permanent Secretary/Secretary to the Treasury (PSST) s commitment to release funds before the 10th of every first month of each quarter. Pupil enrollment: : Overall, the Total Enrollment (TE) of pupils for the FY 2016/17 was 372,729, of which 184,337 (49.46%) were male and 188,392 (50.54%) were female. This shows that female pupil TE exceeded the male pupils by 1.08%. A total of 70,684 pupils were enrolled in Q2, of which 50.61% (35,774) were female while 49.39% (34,910) were male. A total of 145,675 pupils were enrolled in Q3 and 156,370 in Q4. The female pupils enrolled in Q4 exceeded the males by 2,368 standing at 79,369 (50.76%) for females and 77,001 (49.24%) for males. The results from the monitoring exercise also indicate that the Teacher - Pupil Ratio (T: PR) was high at 1:240, 1:47, and 1:50 for Q2, Q3 and Q4 respectively. Performance: FFrom the national level Universal Primary Education (UPE), the P7 performance for the schools monitored was average with only 4% of the pupils in Grade 1, 34% in Grade 2, 25% passed in the Grade 3, while the 37% were in Grades 4 and U (labeled others in this exercise) see Figure 3.1. The passing rates for boys and girls by grade were divergent. Only 26% of the pupils who passed in Grade 1 were girls and we noted that as the grading got worse, the proportion of girls increased i.e. 47%, 54% and 56% of pupils in Grade 2, 3 and others respectively were girls. This is more than the national TS: P R of 1:40 13

14 Figure 3.1: P7 Performance of schools monitored in Term 3, 2016 It was also established that all the schools monitored had School Management Committees (SMCs). However, most of the SMC members lacked expertise in terms of academic exposure as they Source: CSBAG computations could neither read nor write. This greatly challenges SMC monitoring and supervision of school academic activities, which subsequently jeopardizes the quality of service delivery Policy recommendations to the challenges in the education sector From the monitoring exercise conducted and the challenges identified in the education sector, policy recommendations were made which include; Prioritization and provision of adequate sanitation facilities at the schools: The Ministry of Education and Sports, in cooperation with the respective District Health Office and Education Office should ensure the availability of a water point within the school vicinity to increase sanitation and minimize on the school dropout rates especially for the girl child. This should be coupled with continuous and periodic inspection of these facilities for the respective schools to see a reduction in open defecation and its associated effects in communities. In addressing the challenge of late release and withdraw of funds, we propose that government adequately trains the responsible officers to implement reforms to ensure timely delivery of services to the community. Related to the above, in order to improve on timely withdrawal and utilization offunds received on the school accounts, CSBAG proposes that as the Accountant General (AG) transfers funds to the schools, an indicative text message is sent to the head teachers of the schools and the District Education Officers (DEOs) of the various districts. This would improve the efficiency in the utilization of the school funds. To address the high teacher to pupil ratio in certain schools, CSBAG recommends that more recruitment of staff is undertaken to witness a reduction in these ratios. This is very high in comparison to the national T: P R of 1:50 (UBOS Statistical Abstract) 14

15 3.2. HEALTH SECTOR This section presents a breakdown of the monitoring results for the health sector for the four quarters monitored. These were analysed under several categories including the geographical coverage, live and still births, outpatients and inpatients. Monitoring results on other parameters such as water and sanitation, budget information (display of budget information), immunization, enabling factors (physician to patient ratio and receipt of drugs), and the release of funds to health facilities accounts were also monitored and detailed below Geographical coverage Table 3.3 shows the geographical coverage where the monitoring exercise was conducted in the health sector. Table 3. 3: Geographical coverage of health facilities monitored Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Total No. of districts District hospital Health Centre IVs Health Centre IIIs Health Centre IIs Source: CSBAG compilations From Table 3.3, a total of 37 districts were monitored for the health sector in FY 2016/17. Several health facilities were monitored including district hospitals (2), Health Centre IVs (3), 63 HC IIIs and 84 HC IIs. Q1 had the highest number of HC IIs monitored at 32 while Q2 had the least at only 9 HC IIs monitored Live births and still births The monitoring exercise assessed the level of live and still births at the respective health centres in the districts monitored. Results from this revealed that Q3 had the highest number of live births at 2,364 while Q4 recorded the smallest number of live births at 1,129. Still births however were recorded highest in Q1 at 124 whereas Q2 had the least number of still births at 28. Q3 and Q4 had 94 and 44 still births respectively. For the entire FY 2016/17, a total of 6,657 live births and 290 still births were recorded as indicated in Figure 3.2. Figure 3. 2: Live and still births for the health facilities monitored 15

16 Table 3. 4: Sample District breakdown of live and still births in Q1 Quarter District HC Live births Still births Delivery beds 1 Sheema Shuku HC IV Mubende Kiyuni HC II Nwoya Amaka HC III 32 4 Oyam Adyegi HC II Masindi Masindi Hospital 1, Mubende Kasambya HC III Kakigando HC II 29-0 Masindi Pakanyi HC III Kibuku Mugungu HC III Kasese Kasese MC HCIII 59 4 Kanungu Kayonza HC III 25-0 Butogota HC II 26-0 Source: CSBAG compilation From the results in Table 3.4, the NDP II target on infant mortality of 4.4% of 1,000 live births by 2020 is a far off from the situation in Mubende at Kiyuni HC II where infant mortality is at 78.3%. During the monitoring, it was also revealed that in Masindi Hospital, there were 1,010 live births and 27 deaths recorded between July and September 2016 and had 3 delivery beds. This performance is better than the NDP II target set for 2020 even when Masindi Hospital had fewer delivery beds than Kiyuni HC II. This finding reflects several other issues beyond delivery beds that affect infant mortality (live and still births) for example, staffing in the health centres Outpatients and Inpatients by health facility The study went further to monitor outpatients and inpatients attended to by the health facilities as shown in Figure 3.3. Figure 3. 3: Results for Outpatients and Inpatients for FY 2016/17 SoSource: CSBAG computations Q3 witnessed the highest number of outpatients at 125,183 from Figure 3 above, and this was followed by Q1 with 73,703. Q4 had 71,616 and finally Q2 registered 55,254 outpatients. For inpatients however, Q3 had the highest number of inpatients at 5,811 and Q2 had the lowest at 1,

17 3.2.4 Other health parameters This section details results for other health parameters assessed including; water and sanitation, budget information (display of budget information), immunization, enabling factors (physician to patient ratio and receipt of drugs), and the release of funds to health facilities accounts as shown in Table 3.5.

The Toilet Stance to Patient Ratio (TS: PaR) was at 1:605 in Q4, as data on TS: PaR was not captured for Q1, Q2 and Q3. 34 toilets were monitored in Q2 which number increased to 123 toilets in Q4. Whereas all the HCs had latrines in Q2, 9 of them had shared latrines between male and female patients and HC staff. CSBAG notes with concern that Kasaana HC II in Kasaana East in Sheema district did not have a functional latrine at all, despite recording 600 outpatients during the quarter. With a patient load of 74,402 in Q4, there were only 123 toilets to meet the demands of the patients making a patient TS: PaR of 1:605. On a positive note, 90% of the HCs visited had functional water points around them. Budget Information: Performance on budget (display) is unevenly distributed; Q1 monitoring results showed an impressive statistic of 76% for the Display of Budget Information (DBI) at 76% as opposed to the Non - Display of Budget Information (NDBI) which stood at 24%. In Q2, NDBI was the highest at 62% while DBI was at 38%. DBI performance improved in Q3 and Q4 at 69.2% and 90% respectively. These led to a shrinking NDBI of 30.8% and 10% for Q3 and Q4 respectively. Immunization: The highest number of children immunized with pentavalent vaccines was registered in Q3 at 11,030 children, followed by Q1, Q4 and Q2 which had 6,882, 5,676 and 5,504 children immunized respectively. This brings the total number of children immunized to 29,092 in the monitoring exercise conducted in the districts of in interest in FY 2016/17. In all the four quarters, staffing gaps were identified at all the health facilities monitored, as observed from the high Patient to Physician Ratios (Pa:PhyR) These are toilets shared by both women and men in 9 HCs with no separate facilities for women and men. 17

18 of 1,578:1, 271:1, 3,191, and 319:1 for Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 respectively. Receipt of drugs: By the time of the monitoring exercise, a high percentage of health facilities monitored had received drugs, standing at 80.4%, 100% and 90% for Q1, Q2 and Q4 respectively as indicated in Table 4 above. Receipt of funds: 56.5% of the funds for Q1 were received on 7th September 2016 and 41.3% by 8th September This was a delayed release of funds as it was noted that funds are meant to be released by the 10th day of the first month into the quarter (July 2016). These were all released and received in last month of the quarter, September Consultation from the relevant MDAs on the cause of this anomaly revealed that the gap was at the Ministry of Health (MoH) due to their inability to submit the relevant documentation to enable timely 3.3 Policy recommendations From the monitoring exercise conducted in the health sector and the challenges identified in the sections above, policy recommendations were suggested which include: These include among others understaffing, insufficient number or absence of delivery beds, late release and withdraw of funds, inadequate sanitation facilities. Some policy recommendations to address these challenges are suggested and these include; MoFPED should caution the Ministry of Health (MoH) officials for delays in submitting the required documentation for release of funds to HCs. Additional resources need to be put towards the acquisition of equipment like delivery beds at the health facilities. This will improve the health sector outcomes for number of live births per 1,000 deliveries PENSION In Q1 FY 2016/17, MoFPED released pension arrears of UGX 50bn to clear pensioners payments. From the monitoring exercise conducted in Kasese, Mityana, Sheema and Kalungu, there were some pensioners that had not received their arrears irrespective of the report release of funds to HCs. In Q2, 66% of the HCs received their funds on 28th October 2016, beyond the 10th October 2016, while in Q3, it was found out that 53.4% of the HCs received the PHC funds in March 2017 (the last month of Q3 for FY 2017/18). 25% of HCs had withdrawn their funds by 14th March 2017 while the HC that took the most time to withdraw funds did so on 12th June In Q4, 75% of the HCs had received funds for Q4 for FY 2016/17 by 25th May 2017 but took 1 month on average to withdraw funds from the HC accounts. This has a negative implication on service delivery including; delayed settlement of arrears for utility bills by the HCs which often casts spells of darkness even for the most sensitive service delivery cases like child birth. To further improve the timelines when funds are utilized from the school accounts, an indicative text message should be sent to the HC In-charge and the District Health Officers (DHO)s of the various districts, as the Accountant General (AG) releases funds to the HCs. This will improve the efficiency in utilization of the HC funds and reduce unspent balances at the end of the FY. More efforts are needed by government to train, recruit and incentivize health workers to reduce on the high physician to patient ratios recorded in the monitored in the health service delivery units. Sanitation facilities like functional water points, toilets among others should be adequately provided at the HCs to avoid open defecation with its related consequences like out break of waterbone diseases like cholera and diarrhoea. provided by their districts that they were paid. In Kasese district, out of the 24 pensioners on the list provided by the MFPED, 16 had been paid and 8 of these had not received their pension arrears as illustrated in the table 4.1. MoFPED committed to send funds to institutions by the 10th day of the 1st month of every quarter 18

MFPED should penalize accounting officers that have not paid the pension arrears even when the pensioners and the funds to do so are available. 19

20 4.0 CONCLUSION With the enactment of the PFM Act 2015, the management of public funds especially at the Local Government level in the various service delivery points will improve with close supervision of the responsible institutions. It is important to note the close link between accounting for funds, the time of receipt of funds and their utilization. There is need to make it risky for institutions to deny the public access to budget release information. Sanctions should be imposed on the responsible officers who do not follow the guidance that is provided by the Permanent Secretary and Secretary to Treasury (PSST) in handling public resources. CSBAG and its partners shall continue to prioritize the monitoring of service delivery and accountability of public funds with a view to have people-centred budgets that consider the interests of marginalized sections of society and uphold to dignify humanity. 20
